Operation
Before starting the unit, double check all electrical
and plumbing connections. Make sure the circulat-
ing system has been filled with cooling fluid.
To start the unit, place the Main Power Switch to
the on position. The Power Switch LED illuminates
to indicate the system is operating. To turn the unit
off, place the Power Switch to the off position.
The Cool LED indicates the status of the refrigera-
tion system. It illuminates to indicate the refrigera-
tion system is removing heat from the cooling
fluid. As the operating temperature approaches the
setpoint, the LED will extinguish.
When the unit is shut off, wait approximately five
minutes before restarting. This allows time for the
refrigeration pressures to equalize. If the pressures
are not allowed to equalize, the compressor will
short-cycle and no cooling will occur.

Section III Installation
Site
The unit should be located in a laboratory or clean industrial environment
where ambient temperatures are inside the range of +13°C to +38°C.
The unit has an air-cooled refrigeration system. Air is drawn through the
front of the unit and discharged through rear and side panels. The unit must
be positioned so the intake and discharge are not impeded. A minimum
clearance of 45 centimeters (18 inches) on all vented sides is necessary for
adequate ventilation. Inadequate ventilation will cause a reduction in cooling
capacity and, in extreme cases, compressor failure.
The unit will retain its full rated capacity in ambient temperatures up to
approximately +24°C. Derate the cooling capacity 1% for every 0.5°C
above +24°C.
Air Intake
Requirements
The approximate air intake required for the unit to retain its full rated
capacity is 800 cubic feet per minute.
-7-
Electrical
Requirements
Refer to Section II, Specifications, and to the serial number label on the rear
of the unit for the specific electrical requirements of your unit.
Make sure the voltage of the power source meets the specified voltage, ±10%.
The unit can operate with either 50 Hertz or 60 Hertz input frequency. To
change the frequency remove the wrapper and locate terminal boards 1TB
and 2TB at the rear of the unit. For 50 Hertz operation, connect 2TB2 to 1TB2.
For 60 Hertz, connect 2TB2 to 1TB1.
Plumbing
Requirements
Before installing the unit to an instrument that previously used tap water as a
cooling fluid, flush the instrument several times to remove any rust or scale
that has built up. The manufacturer of the instrument should be able to .
recommend a cleaning fluid for their equipment.
The plumbing connections are located on the rear of the unit and are labelled
SUPPLY and RETURN. The connections are ½ inch NPT.
Connect the SUPPLY fitting to the inlet of the instrument being cooled. Con-
nect the RETURN fitting to the outlet of the instrument being cooled.
Never connect the fittings to your building water supply or any water
pressure source.
Tubing and insulation are available from NESLAB. Contact our Sales Depart-
ment for more information (see Preface, After-sale Support).
-8-
It is important to keep the distance between the unit and the instrument
being cooled as short as possible, and to use the largest diameter tubing
practical. Tubing should be straight and without bends. If diameter reductions
must be made, they should be made at the inlet and outlet of the instrument
being cooled, not at the CFT.
Fluids
The selected fluid must have a viscosity of 50 centistokes or less at the
lowest operating temperature.
Never use flammable or corrosive fluids with this unit. Distilled and
deionized water may be aggressive and cause material corrosion.
Please contact NESLAB before subjecting this unit to prolonged
exposure to distilled or deionized water.
Tap water is the recommended fluid for normal operation, see Water Quality
and Recommendations.
Below +8°C, a non-freezing fluid must be used. A mixture of tap water and
laboratory grade ethylene glycol is suggested.
-9-
Unfavorably high total ionized solids (TIS) can accelerate the rate of galvanic
corrosion. These contaminants can function as electrolytes which increase
the potential for galvanic cell corrosion and lead to localized corrosion such
as pitting which can be observed at the studs and on the outside surface of
cooling coils. Eventually, the pitting will become so extensive that the coil will
leak refrigerant into the water reservoir.
As an example, raw water in the United States averages 171 ppm (as NaCl).
The recommended level for use in a water system is between 0.5 to 5.0 ppm
(as NaCl).
The above two recommendations will reduce the electrolytic potential of the
water and prevent or reduce the galvanic corrosion observed.

Filling Requirements
Remove the reservoir access panel by unscrewing the thumbscrews. Locate
the reservoir plug (square nut). Remove the plug and fill the reservoir with
clean cooling fluid, following the special considerations outlined in the
following paragraphs.
Thumbscrew
Reservoir Plug
NOTE: The tank in your unit has a vent which relieves pressure built up from
thermal expansion of water. The vent is located on the reservoir plug. It
activates when tank pressure reaches 3 - 5 psi.
When circulating cooling fluid to an open system, connect the SUPPLY and
RETURN lines to the open tank. Secure the RETURN (suction) line below the
fluid surface. The RETURN line should be submerged deep enough to avoid
sucking air. Make sure the RETURN line is free of particles and debris that can
block the flow of fluid. A baffle or screen may be required.
- 11 -
Section IV Operation
Start Up
Before starting the unit, double check all electrical and plumbing connections
and make sure the circulating system (the CFT, the instrument being cooled,
and the tubing that connects them) has been properly filled with cooling fluid.
To start the unit, place the POWER Switch to the ON position. The controller
LEDs will illuminate.
The COOL LED on the front panel indicate the status of the refrigeration
system. It illuminates to indicate the refrigeration system is removing heat
from the cooling fluid. As the operating temperature approaches the
temperature setpoint, the LED will extinguish.
Temperature
Controller
Temperature Adjustment
To display the temperature setpoint, press and hold the DISPLAY switch. To
adjust the temperature setpoint, press and hold the DISPLAY switch and turn
the ADJUST knob until the desired temperature setpoint is indicated on the
digital display. Once the setpoint is adjusted, release the DISPLAY switch. The
display will now indicate the temperature of the fluid in the reservoir.
Controller
- 12 -
Shut Down
To turn the unit off, place the POWER Switch to the OFF position.
When the unit is shut off, wait approximately five minutes before restarting.
This allows time for the refrigeration pressures to equalize. If the pressures
are not allowed to equalize, the compressor will short-cycle (clicking sound)
and no cooling will occur.
Fault Lights
Should the fluid flow drop below 1.6 liters per minute the FLOW lamp will
illuminate and a signal will be sent to the Metrimate receptacle on the rear of
the unit, see below.
Should the temperature of the fluid in the tank exceed what is set on the High
Temperature Cutout (HTC), the TEMP lamp will illuminate and a signal will be
sent to the Metrimate receptacle on the rear of the unit, see below. The HTC
is factory preset at 30°C (86°F).

Section V Maintenance and Service
Service Contracts
NESLAB offers on-site Service Contracts that are designed to provide
extended life and minimal down-time for your unit. For more information,
contact our Service Department (see Preface, After-sale Support).
Draining the
Reservoir
To drain the reservoir we recommend the use of a wet/dry vacuum. Remove
the reservoir plug and carefully insert the wet/dry vacuum so as not to damage
the cooling coils. NOTE: Tilting the unit more than 45° may allow compressor
oil to seep into the suction line.
Cleaning
Reservoir
Periodically inspect the fluid inside the reservoir. If cleaning is necessary,
flush the reservoir with a cleaning fluid compatible with the circulating
system and the cooling fluid.
Before changing the cooling fluid, raise the operating temperature of the unit
to de-ice the cooling coils. Refer to Section III, Filling Requirements for instruc-
tions on replacing the cooling fluid.
Condenser
For proper operation, the unit needs to pull substantial amounts of air
through a condenser. A build up of dust or debris on the fins of the condenser
will lead to a loss of cooling capacity.
The lower front of the unit has a one-piece grille assembly. Gently pry the
assembly off with a flathead screwdriver. Use care not to scratch the paint.
- 14 -
Algae
To restrict the growth of algae in the reservoir, it is recommended that the
reservoir cover be kept in place and that all circulation lines be opaque. This
will eliminate the entrance of light which is required for the growth of most
common algae.
Pump Strainer
If debris is in the system, the strainer will prevent the material from being
drawn into the pump and damaging the pump vanes.
After initial installation, the strainer may become clogged with debris and
scale. Therefore, the strainer must be cleaned after the first week of installa-
tion. After this first cleaning, a monthly visual inspection is recommended. After
several months, the frequency of cleaning will be established.
Before cleaning the strainer, disconnect the power cord from the power
source and drain the reservoir.
Remove the wrapper from the unit. Unscrew the cannister on the pump
suction line and remove the screen.
When the screen is clean, replace it in the strainer, tighten the cannister and
replace the wrapper. Refer to Section III, Filling Requirements for instructions
on replacing the cooling fluid.

Pump Motor Lubrication
PD pump motors require periodic lubrication. Refer to the pump label on the
rear of the unit to identify the type of pump in your unit.
PD pumps use sleeve type bearings with large reservoirs. Oiling instructions
are generally posted on each motor. In the absence of instructions, add
approximately 30 to 35 drops of SAE 20 non-detergent oil to each bearing
on the following schedule (SAE 20 = 142 CS viscosity):
